1/@GovernmentZA @TreasuryZA @ReserveBankSA @CyrilRamaphosa

The latest Sanlam Benchmark survey is a brutal verdict on your governance. South Africans know they must save for retirement — they say planning should start at 35.

But your policies make it nearly impossible. High taxes, capital traps, and economic mismanagement are forcing people to raid tomorrow’s money just to survive today.

Reference: dailymaverick.co.za/article/2026-0…

Thread 🧵
2/Per the 2026 Sanlam survey:
Retirement fund engagement only starts 3.4 years before people stop working.

Financial advice sought just 20 months before retirement.

Retirement lump sums now depleted in 14.6 months on average (down from 30 months previously).
47% of pensioners carry debt into retirement.

1 in 3 retirees face financial strain within 4–5 years.

This isn’t “poor financial literacy.” This is what happens when government takes too much and delivers too little.
3/ 50% of respondents gambled in the last 3 months — funded by salaries. 38% say they gamble to generate “additional income.” 44% of younger workers already raided their two-pot savings — overwhelmingly to settle debt, not for luxuries.

@EnochGodongwana, your two-pot “reform” has become an emergency escape hatch from the debt trap you helped create. People aren’t choosing short-term over long-term. They’re choosing survival.

Architecture Of Silence VI - Basic Tantric Exercises for Men and Women

Today, we bridge deep meditation with our most potent biological force: sexual energy... This is the integration of internal power and absolute focus.

We've reached the sixth part of our series... 🧵 Image
This exploration is not about fleeting pleasure, but the individual cultivation of a raw, internal engine for higher consciousness... To truly master the laboratory of your own body, you must learn to direct this primal fire inward through self discipline.
When harnessed correctly, this internal current becomes the ultimate catalyst for your personal spiritual sovereignty, profound psychological self mastery, and an unshakeable state of raw mental focus... It is the foundation of inner architecture.

1/ Russia is constructing shelters for its heavy bomber aircraft to protect them from Ukrainian drone strikes, such as the famous 'Operation Spider's Web'. However, Russian warbloggers say it's too little, too late. ⬇️
2/ The shelters are being constructed at the Engels air base near Saratov, which has previously been attacked by fixed-wing Ukrainian UAVs. It houses the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division, which includes a single squadron of Tu-160s and another of Tu-95s.
3/ At least 17 shelters are being built to accommodate the strategic bombers housed at the base. Reportedly, the work began in April 2025, before the June 2025 'Spider's Web' attacks.

On 29 August 1944, General von Choltitz confessed to another general that the liquidation of the Jews was the worst job he had ever carried out and that he had done it with great consistency down to the very last detail.

Hitler's own commanders admitted their guilt:
(🧵) Image
In an astonishing turn of events, the generals at Trent Park divulged their own guilt to each other. In a conversation recorded on 29 August 1944, von Choltitz confessed to von Thoma: ‘The worst job I ever carried out – which, however, I carried out with great consistency – was the liquidation of the Jews. I carried out this order down to the very last detail.’

Von Thoma’s reply laid the blame on Hitler for issuing the orders, as he sniggered: ‘Ha! Ha! Ha! It’s a good thing that you can now produce such unimpeachable proofs.’ Even von Thoma’s laughter was written on the transcript of the conversation by 'secret listeners'..

Two months later, the secret listeners picked up another frank admission from von Choltitz: ‘We are also to blame. We have cooperated and have almost taken the Nazis seriously . . . I’ve persuaded my men to believe in this nonsense ... I feel thoroughly ashamed of myself. May be we are far more to blame than those uneducated cattle [the Nazis].’ Von Choltitz appeared only to express remorse after he knew he could face charges of war crimes and the death penalty.

(continued)
General Liebenstein told von Thoma, ‘We once shot forty thousand Poles in a concentration camp.’ Von Thoma replied, ‘Out at Dachau in 1940 were a great part of the Polish intelligentsia, university professors, doctors, lawyers – that’s the pathological part of it, this mania.’ In a separate conversation, von Thoma said the killings were committed on Hitler’s orders.

Neuffer and Bassenge discussed crimes committed by the German army. Bassenge told Neuffer that the Goering Regiment was a wild lot. ‘I know officially,’ Bassenge said, ‘because part of the paratroops were formed from the Goering Regiment.’

‘Did they commit murders?’ asked Neuffer.

‘Yes,’ replied Bassenge. ‘They secretly condemned and murdered people in the barracks and the officers took part.’

🚨 — XRP 80% will not survive by July 1, 2026 according to @TheJWKShow 👀 . Pure hype or “False Expectations Appearing Real”?

🧵Don’t miss the “Pulse Crypt” podcast, highlighting Global Crypto News.

Fresh crypto drop from @TheJWKShow – Exact Breakdown.

The title is pure clickbait gold, but the core message is not that 80% of XRP itself dies. It’s this:

OKX Europe CEO stated that 80% of crypto exchanges will NOT survive the full MiCA enforcement deadline on July 1, 2026. Unlicensed platforms must stop serving EU clients starting that date. The host ties this regulatory hammer directly to potential massive liquidations, liquidity crunch, and further downside in XRP and the broader market.

Current XRP situation (as discussed):

Trading around $1.04 (recent low $1.01).
In a bear market for nearly a year since its all-time high.
Bearish technicals flashing: MACD crossover, stochastic RSI with room to drop → host eyes possible test of $0.95.
Heavy liquidations hitting the market ($414 million in long positions wiped in just one hour recently — way above average).Image
Trading around $1.04 (recent low $1.01).

In a bear market for nearly a year since its all-time high.
Bearish technicals flashing: MACD crossover, stochastic RSI with room to drop → host eyes possible test of $0.95.
Heavy liquidations hitting the market ($414 million in long positions wiped in just one hour recently — way above average).

The host’s actual stance (important!):

This is a blessing in disguise for XRP. Retail panic = opportunity to accumulate before institutions and whales step in. He stays bullish on XRP and crypto for the rest of 2026, expecting fast explosive moves (mentions potential 5x in a month in the right conditions) and references the famous BG123 riddle. Classic dip-buying narrative wrapped in FUD headlines.

Other highlights in the video:

Crypto total market cap crashed 54% from $4.3 trillion peak (Oct 2025) down to ~$2 trillion.

Corporate pain: MicroStrategy (Strategy) stock crushed with big unrealized Bitcoin losses; Bitmain hit hard on ETH exposure.

Macro: Bank of America sees up to 3 Fed rate hikes in 2026, while Trump pushes for low rates and economic boom. New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh seen as more pro-crypto and rate-cut friendly.

Classic JWK Show style: high-energy, community-focused (Discord, X, Rumble, Bitunix trading link), heavy on XRP but covers the full market bloodbath.

Pulse Crypto – Global Crypto News Snapshot (June 26, 2026)

XRP is sitting near $1.03 early today (down ~1% recently), with the broader market still feeling the heat from liquidations and regulatory overhang.

MiCA July 1 Deadline (5 days away):

This is the real story behind the video. Full enforcement means any crypto-asset service provider without a CASP license must cease EU operations. Reports confirm only ~17% of previous VASP firms have fully converted — the rest face shutdown or major restrictions. Expect volatility spikes as EU liquidity potentially dries up.

Bitcoin hovering in the $59k–$61k zone with ongoing pressure. Ethereum around $1,530–$1,670 range recently amid the selloff. Total crypto market cap remains compressed near the $2T level discussed in the video.

All Financial News for Today + Friday Potentials
US Markets (early June 26, 2026):

Futures are pointing lower to start the session:
Dow futures ~ -0.2%
S&P 500 futures ~ -0.7%
Nasdaq 100 futures ~ -1.5% (tech leading the weakness).
Recent session themes: Chip stocks mixed after Micron’s strong earnings beat (boosting semis), while broader tech faces pressure. Dow has been hitting record closes in prior sessions but overall sentiment cautious. Microsoft and some AI names under watch.
Crypto Correlation: Risk-off tone continuing. Corporate Bitcoin treasury holders (MicroStrategy/Strategy etc.) still digesting earlier drawdowns and the rare small BTC sale disclosure from late May.

Friday Potentials (June 26 close + weekend into next week):

* High volatility expected into the close — thin Friday volume + MiCA countdown (July 1 is Wednesday) = recipe for sharp moves in crypto and related stocks.

* Watch for any last-minute Fed speaker noise or Trump economic comments (rate cut vs hike tension remains live).

* Weekend gap risk elevated in crypto — regulatory headlines from Europe could drop anytime.

* Bull case: Strong close above key levels + dip-buying into the MiCA event could spark relief rally next week.

* Bear case: Further liquidation cascade if EU platforms start restricting access early.

Bottom line from Pulse Crypto:

The JWK Show video nails the regulatory fear but flips it into an accumulation narrative for XRP. July 1 MiCA enforcement is a legitimate catalyst — not for XRP dying, but for market structure shifting. Smart money watches the dips. Weak hands get shaken out.

Stay sharp, stay informed, and always do your own research.
What’s your take — buying the dip or waiting for clearer signals post-July 1? Drop it below or in the Pulse Crypto community.

(🚨) A day after an orc lieutenant of Elon Musk, Gad Saad, put a Canadian mosque community at risk by lying about it using a public loudspeaker for its call to prayer, Saad has now published—and Musk again reposted—a snuff-porn-adjacent film in which a white man massacres Muslims Image
(PS) 24 hours before *that*, Musk reposted a thread implicitly calling for a UK race-and-religion war.

Casual observers could easily see the last 48 hours as being Musk losing more money than any human ever has while trying to incite mass murder.

🔗: bsky.app/profile/sethab…
Humanity is telling Musk fans they’re worshipping one of the most evil men alive. Instead of reading the thousands of reliable reports establishing why this is being said, these ghouls—because they’ve invested in Musk companies—do nothing. They’re exactly what you think they are.

How to get positive results from the 6th, 8th, and 12th house ?

Remedies,
behavioural Changes
and what act to perform -

To get the positive result of 6th,8th & 12 house.

1/N 🧵
I have Spent years studying charts where the 6th, 8th, and 12th house were heavily loaded with planets.

What I found was the opposite of what you think and let me tell you that the whole internet is full of fear mongering.

But be very clear that these three houses are not houses of punishment.

They are houses of the deepest possible power.

This thread is on how to actually read them and what to do to unlock what they carry.

Every student of astrology is taught to fear the Dusthanas.

The 6th house means disease, enemies, and debt. The 8th house means death, sudden loss, and hidden suffering. The 12th house means expenses, isolation, and things slipping away.

That framing is not wrong. But it is incomplete in a way that genuinely harms people who carry these placements. Because what nobody teaches alongside the fear is the other side of these houses, which is where some of the most extraordinary life outcomes actually live.
I'll discuss firstly about 6th house.

Traditionally it carries the reputation of being the most difficult of the three because it is immediate and visible.

Debt shows up. Health breaks down. Conflicts arise at work.

But here is what years of analysing charts have shown: the 6th house is an Upachaya house, meaning it grows with time. Whatever planet sits here becomes stronger as the person ages.

The struggle at twenty-five is genuinely different energy at forty-five. The house is not punishing. The house is building something.Lawyers who win consistently. Doctors who build extraordinary practices. Competitive athletes who dominate for years. Military officers who rise steadily through ranks.

Across hundreds of charts, a pattern repeats without exception: strong 6th house activity with Saturn or Mars placed here. Not despite those placements but because of them. Saturn in the 6th gives the stamina to outlast every opponent. Mars in the 6th gives the competitive sharpness that cannot be manufactured through effort alone. These planets in the 6th are not creating enemies. They are creating the capacity to defeat every enemy that arrives.
